Nice sunny day here in Ky but the temps are cool. Actually I like it cool. :)

Mystery quilt

Bonnie Hunter has posted part 1 of  "Easy Street"  mystery quilt. This will be my first mystery quilt ever so I am rather excited.   I have alot of  step 1 complete...

This is the same fabrics in both pics. I guess the difference in colors is the lighting from the flash. A photographer I am not.  Anyway if you would like to know more about the mystery quilt go here to Bonnie Hunter's  site http://quiltville.blogspot.com/p/easy-street-mystery.html  and she will tell you all about it... Come on and jump on the mystery wagon.. if you like scrappy quilts you just might like this one....

Something quilty...

Here is some photos of what I have been doing. 

Cutting out 2.5 inch scraps..

                                                            Sewing them into four patches.

Making tri-recs                  

                                        Hoping eventually that they will become a lovely quilt like this one.
                                         Of course with lots more sewing to be done. :)      I think I can, I think I can...
                                         Now I must cut out lots of half-square triangles, so that I can sew them together
                                         tomorrow while Bonnie Hunter is on in the afternoon on quilt cam..

 

Sorry......

I posted a Happy Thanksgiving post but just a bit ago found out it didn't turn out.
So I will say Happy Belated Thanksgiving to everyone here in blog land. Hope yours was a great one, spent with family and friends.
Now before we know it Christmas will be here and gone as well for it is coming quickly..

Have a great weekend everyone..

Got the last one.....

I  kept lookng at the "Blueberry crumb cake" fabric each time I saw it at a fabric store....but didn't buy it. I kept thinking** later.  I need to figure out a pattern before I buy.... : )   I went to my favorite quilt shop just a few weeks ago and bought it.... mmmmmm so pretty.. It was their last one..  I can see why it went to fast. It is beautiful.. Now what will I make??I'm not sure.....

It is cool and cloudy here. Its good quilt piecing or reading weather. Reading is something that I haven't gotten to do much of lately. I've been babysitting alot. When I get the chance to read I don't like to put the book down when I get started. What are you reading?  Are you reading a great book that you would like to reccomend?  I just love to read. Reading takes me to places that I will never be able to travel too.

Take time to sew today. 
My hubby says I am happiest when I am sitting at my machine. :) 

colorful pics-nothing quilty...

scrappy?

This is a scrappy quilt that I have been working on recently. It is going to be a king size when finished.  That is why that it isn't displayed very good. My hubby's arms wasn't long enough.. 
I don't even have this one finished and I have another idea for one that is similar. I might work on it this winter.  I still have lots of scraps left for another. I am trying to use up some scrap/ugly fabrics. There are plenty of them in this quilt..
Pic below is the start of one of my borders.......
